Napoleon's Legacy to France.
From. the Ne,o Princeton. Review.

Between 1904 and 1917 he has had
slaughtered more than 100000 Frenchmen
born within the boundaries of ancient
France, to which must be added, probably,
1900, 900 of men born ont of these limits,
and all for him. under the title of allies. or
slain on his account, under the title of enc
mics. All that the poor, enthusiastic, and
credulous Gauls have gained by confiding
their public welfare to him is two invasions;
all that he bequeaths to them us a reward
for their devotion, after this prodigious
waste of their blood and the blood of others,
is a France shorn of fifteen departments ac-
quired by the republic deprived of Savoy,
the left bank of the Rhine and Of Belgium,
despoiled of the northeast angle by which it
completed its boundaries, fortified its most
vulnerable point, and using the words Of
Vauban, made the field square," losing
1900, 900 Of New Frenchmen which it had
assimilated after twenty years Of life in
common; and, worse still, thrown back
within the frontiers Of l7SD, alone dhnin-
ished in the midst of its aggrandized neigh
bors, suspected by all Europe, and lastingly
surrounded by threatening circle of dis
trust and rancor.

HIS SISTER DISSECTED.
A Toronto Young Man Kills Himself
After Trying to Shoot the Doctor.
From the Ne1o York World.

y
From the Ne,o York World.
SOUTH BEND, IND, May 17.--Six weeks
ago young man named Walter Wells
came to this city from Minneapolis in search
of his sister. A few days previously a
young woman who was a stranger here had
committed suicide. She had been known
as Marie Morrow, but from published de-
scription of the suicide young Wells be-
heved her to be his sister, and on investiga-
ton found such to be the case. He then de-
cided to remove the body to Toronto, Ont,
his home, but was unable to find the
place where the remains were buried.
He continued his search, and finally
learned that his sisters bones were in the
Office of DR.. Greene, a suburban physician,
to whom the remains had been given by the
authorities under the State law for the dis
poSal of unclaimed bodies. The young man
became furious at the discovery, but on
finding that no lawful punishment could be
inflicted upon DR.. Greene he apparently let
the matter drop. The local papers, how
some of the accounts reached the brother,
who suddenly appeared here to-day, swear
ing he would have summary vengeance on
the doctor. Hiring rig he drove out at a
furious rate to DIR. Greenes home, but the
neighbors refused to tell him where the
physician was Meanwhile the doctor got
out of the way.
The young fellow drove back to hotel in
town, and going to a room, locked himself
in and shot himself dead.

ST. Louis, Nov. 2l.-Dispatches from
CRANKY, No., thriving town in the lead
region of Newton County, state that what
proved to be II disastrous confiagratlon
started there Saturday afternoon and be-
fore it was checked fifteen stores and many
residences had been destroyed. The
drought in that section had been long and
severe and, as the houses were built al
most entirely OF wood, the houses burned
like finder. Assistance was sent from
Neosho, few miles distant, in the way of
men and BUCKETS, but as there were no
watcrworks in CRANKY and nearly all the
wells and csterns were dry, the town was
actually ct the mercy Of the flames, which
swept through the place under
the action Of q fierce wind Us q sea of
raging fire. AS the weather cooled there
was much suffering and distress until all
the homeless were cared for by those
whose homes were saved. The fire origin
ated in Murray's restaurant. adjoining the
CRANKY House, o large tbree-storv hotel
The latter soon caught and the flames were
driven through the business section. The
majority OF the buildings were frame aud
dry as finder from the long drought. The
residences fell prey next, and many were
burned before the people could get their
personal effects out.

Child RecOveresl head

Tho Body OF Heckmeyer'a CnfOrt innate
Child Recovered Dead.
WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 2l.-Mr. Wells, O
travelling man from Wichita County, Satur-
day brought the first intelligence since Mr..
Lewis arrived rs to the rescue Of Jesse
Heckmeyer's imprisoned child in we'll
tube. He stated that the affair had created
the most intense interest throughout that
section, and acccssiOns were made to the
rescuing party FOR miles around. Thursday
there was little belief that the child would
be taken from the well alive, yet they
were impeled on in their work by the tears
and entreaties of the mother. By night the
men laborcd by the light of lanterns. The
greatest danger was from the caving in OF
the walls Of the excavation and this be-
came apparent from the minute sandy soil
was struck. However, Mr. Wells said no
accident OF any Importance had occurred as
far as he knew. Wh.,a q depth OF fifty
feet had been reached tine poor mother, he
said, was one Of the most miserable crea-
lures he ever saw. She had taken scarcely
any rest or food since the accident occurred
and fingered around the mouth of the well
listening for the sound Of her child, even
long after it was evideat to others it WAS
dead.
A special received Saturday from Leo:i
stated that at three o'clock the work Of
the rcscuers was finished and the child
was taken from the well, but it was dead
aud had been for sons time. They had
gone down about seventy-twO feet and
had broke the tubing and thus had taken
the unfortunate little one from its living

GREAT FIRE At FORT. SCOTT.

Destroyed-Loss. 100000.
FORr SCOrr. Kan, Nov. 3O-At eight
O'Clock yesterday morning fire broke out in
the GOodlander mills, in the eastern por-
tion Of this city, and before aid arrived the
whole establishment was in Q blaze A
high west wind was blowing q: the time
aud the fire spread with lightning rapidly
to the immense elevator near by and west
to the cottages. The engines were power.
less to accomplish any thing. although the
firemen worked like beavers. A 9:3J
o'clock it was deemed useless TO further
fight the flames without aid from
the outside. kilograms were sent to Kan.
sas City and to other nelghboring towns.
At ten o'clock the water supply gave out.
This added fresh terrors to the dangers,
for the fire was rapidly working its way
through tho long row OF cottages to tho
Gulf depot. The wind ut 1879 had not
abated and the loss at that hour was estl-
mated at $50, COO
The mills which were entirely destroyed
were located at the southeast corner Of
Clark and Oak streets and were owned BY
Charles w. Goodlander and B. E. Lang
don. The total loss to them is estimated at
100000. Within two blocks is the Gulf de-
pot, and as this lies west, it was directly in
the line Of the fire. The Cottage House was
destroyed. This was located directly op-
posite tho Gulf depot. II was owned by
George Hameling. Luckily for the city the
portion destroyed is not directly in the
heart OF the city. Among the property de-
strOyed in addition to the small dwelling
houses is piauing mill and lumber yard.
At eleven o'clock there were fears that
the Kansas Il Nebraska depot would be
destroyed, but the wind suddenly lightened
and changed from west to east. thus leav-l
ing the flames TO feed only on the ruins. At
ii 80 o'clock it was under control The
Gulf depot was safe and the Cottage House,
to which the flames had come very close,
was saved at the last moment
The fire was caused by oil which leaked
from tank on the railroad switch, in the
rear Of tho mills, into the engine room aud
under the fire box. The wheat stored in
the elevator, amounting to 5000 bushels,
is a complete loss. All the buildings adja-
cent to the mill were destroyed with their
These losses will add S5J,O9O to
the total loss.
At two p. n, the fire was completely out,
the help sent on special from Kansas
City, under Chief Hale, being only needed
for one hour.
